Sometimes a word is worth a thousand words. Or an entire book.
“Ethics” is one of those words, with no shortage of book-length treatments.
The idea for a communication-centered investigation of ethics
and its relationship to professional life arose during the opening session
of George’s ethics class in the spring of 2003. Although the students
weren’t terribly excited by the idea of ethics, they became much
more animated when the discussion shifted to the term “morality.”

It is now almost 40 years since Roger Tomlinson coined the term geographic
information system (GIS), and led the development of the world’s
first, the Canada Geographic Information System (CGIS), in the mid-1960s
(for a history of GIS see Foresman 1998). Today’s technology would be
almost unrecognizable to the pioneers of the 1960s, not only because of the
almost unbelievable advances in information technology (IT) that have
occurred since then, but also because of dramatic changes in the functionality,
appearance, use, and societal context of GIS.

This paper presents a framework for automatically processing information coming from community Question Answering (cQA) portals with the purpose of generating a trustful, complete, relevant and succinct summary in response to a question. We exploit the metadata intrinsically present in User Generated Content (UGC) to bias automatic multi-document summarization techniques toward high quality information. We adopt a representation of concepts alternative to n-grams and propose two concept-scoring functions based on semantic overlap.

This paper explores how long-term energy forecasts are created and
why they are useful. It focuses on forecasts of energy use in the United States for the
year 2000 but considers only long-term predictions, i.e., those covering two or more
decades. The motivation is current interest in global warming forecasts, some of which
run beyond a century. The basic observation is that forecasters in the 1950–1980 period
underestimated the importance of unmodeled surprises

A computerized conference (CC) is a form of co~znunication in which participants type into and read frc~ a computer terminal. The participants may be on line at the same time--termed a "synchrononous" conference, or may interact anynchronous~. The conversation is stored and mediated by the computer.

Communication is often conceived of in basically the following terms. A person has some idea which he or she wants to communicate to a second person. The first person translates that idea into some symbol system which is transmitted through some medium to the receiver. The receiver receives the transmission and translates it into some internal idea. Communication, in this view, is considered good to the extent that there is an isomorphism between the idea in the head of the sender before sending the message and the idea in the receiver's head after recieving the message. ...

The words we use to communicate every day are important in every aspect of our lives. From relaxing,
to working, to studying, to taking tests, we use words to share with others how we feel, what we
think, and why we think that way.Without words, it is difficult to express our ideas to the rest of the
world. The more words we know—the larger our vocabulary—the more clearly we can communicate with others.
Our vocabularies reveal our knowledge to the world; therefore, a person with a large vocabulary has the advantage
of self-expression....

such as IRC, web-based discussion areas and usenet news-groups.
